Closed weights Hunan University January 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

ESM-NBR was published by Hunan University, in China, in January 2024. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Biology, and is recorded as doing protein nucleotide interaction prediction.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

Answers

ESM-NBR — common questions

01

When was ESM-NBR released?

ESM-NBR was published in January 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

02

What is ESM-NBR used for?

ESM-NBR works in Biology, and is recorded as handling protein nucleotide interaction prediction. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

03

What GPU do I need to run ESM-NBR?

None. ESM-NBR is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

04

Is ESM-NBR open source?

The licensing for ESM-NBR was never recorded in our source data. We treat unstated licensing as closed, because an unrecorded licence is not one to rely on.

05

How many parameters does ESM-NBR have?

No parameter count has been published for ESM-NBR, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

Who created ESM-NBR?

ESM-NBR was published by Hunan University, based in China, categorised as academia.
